New to CB's & New here!
« on: April 22, 2013, 09:11:53 PM »
Hello everyone!

Glad to find such a great community and resource for my newest project!

I currently live in rural central Illinois.

I've had bikes of all sorts but am into the older Honda's right now.  Currently I have a 83' CX650 custom and just picked up a 73' CB750 recently.

I am wanting to do quite a bit to this bike and not sure exactly what direction I will finally decide to steer my project in yet!  From what I have seen there is a lot of directions I can go.

Looking forward to meeting some new folks who share my interests and learning a heckuva lot along the way!

I got the k3 from a guy I work with.  Points went out 5 years ago was only problem he claims.  He began doing a restore & paint job but due to health reasons it has sat.  Leaking oil.  Plan to pull motor and do a thorough job on it.  Ordering engine gasket kit and complete points kit. 

I was going to do a bobber or cafe with it, but for some reason I actually like this fairing, guess I'm finally starting to act my age lol!  Has platforms and highway shift kit on it already.  Needs a seat and I was thinking of luggage to make a trip bike out of it?  Still on the fence?
